Bar Code Blitz
Length: 5:05
Shown at PDC05: Yes
Lorin and Lawrence set out on a project to make bar codes appear on web pages. Techniques demonstrated include use of the new Generic Handler template in Visual Studio 2005 and the use of GDI+ to dynamically render a GIF image. The code for the bar code solution shown in the video supports two common standards: 3 of 9 for text, and 2 of 5 codes for numeric.

The Discussion

mswanson This was my favorite video of the bunch. Funny, clever, cool, and quick. Never too fast to understand, but fast enough to keep it moving. Great job, guys! -

Tim Sneath That is truly awesome!
Five minutes has never rushed by so quickly whilst watching an internet video. If only all demos were like this - fast-paced and well-scripted. Any chance Lorin and Lawrence can post the source?
-
mstum Any chance to get the source code? I couldn't quite catch all of the index values.
GREAT VIDEO!
Thanx!

BuckyBit freaking awesome! Excellent! -
Lorin When we made this video for the PDC ShowOff event we were limited to 5 minutes total. We had actually taken lots more footage during the original filming. So I have now put together a longer version that includes all the content and greater bandwidth so you can actually read what the code says as it flies by. You can download it from this link:
winfxRocks.com
For those interested in the source code, it's available for download in a .ZIP from that site. It will do both 3 of 9 and also 2 of 5 codes.
